lesson #34: monkey-ing around

The Tale of the Monkey's Paw


"This scary story is about a monkey's paw which has magical powers. It gives three wishes to its owner.


The monkey's paw is given to a family of three: a father, mother, and son. They wish for some money, and the next day an employee of the son's company arrives at the family's home and tells the parents that their son has died in an accident and they will receive some money - the exact amount they wished for.


About a week later, the mother wishes that their dead son would return home. When knocking is heard at the door, the father realizes what has happened, and before the mother can open the door, the father uses the last wish. The knocking stops, and when the door is opened, no one is there."


Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for. It may just come true, along with all of its consequences.


Shudders or what!


Anyway, it's weird how I remembered this story out of nowhere. I had CSP throughout the day, then met up with Jing for a chill-out session at Alley Bar, and then I read the name of one of its shots - Monkey's Brain. And the phrase "monkey's paw" just came to mind. We had Blowjobs, by the way. Man, I never want another Blowjob in my life.


You know, although the Test was fine, I'm still worried. I don't know what's wrong with me... I'm just a worry-wart I guess.


This entry is going to look like a fruit cocktail with all the different mixed-up thoughts inside. Don't know why, tonight my thoughts are just running free. Hmmm... Now what was I about to say again? Oh ya - it's about my CSP. We organised a day camp held today for handicapped people, and part of the itinerary was to go to Labrador Park and have a fun-filled BBQ. When we first reached the park, I have to admit I stopped breathing for maybe a couple of seconds. It was just so beautiful! And I don't even care how sappy I sound - it was really really amazing! The wind was blowing about my face, ruining my hair, and I didn't give a damn. I was truly enjoying the scenery. The sea! It looked so beautiful. Serene. Mysterious. Dangerous yet intriguing. And all the while I was walking along the path, there was only one thing on my mind. I want to feel this magic with you.
